Not that I'm trying to argue with you, (lol, I'm really not)
but "pit bulls" were also used to bait bulls. The thing is 'pit bull' is not a real breed. It's more of just a term often used to describe different breeds - such as the APBT, Stafford, etc.

In the same way that Labradors were bred to retrieve birds, pit bulls were originally bred for dog fighting and bull and bear baiting.

But Pits used to be used as 'nanny dogs' as well and definitely have gotten a bad rep. in the media these days. Very sad.
Also, please don't get any of my posts wrong. I am actually an advocate for the pit bull breed, and am utterly against BSL, and think they are awesome dogs (just not for me), but I don't trust strange pits around other dogs.
